Ham's Restaurant Announces Relocation and New Concept

"GREENSBORO, NC (July 5, 2015) - The Ham's Restaurant is
moving from it's current location at 324 S. Elm St. to a space one and a half
blocks north on Elm Street.The new location
will be the Ham's Grille & Oyster Bar at 214 S. Elm St. (across from
Crafted and Fincastles).

The move comes amid many new changes in downtown
Greensboro, as more dining and entertainment options are moving in to the
central business area.

“As more and more people come downtown for dining and a
night out, we recognized an opportunity to launch a new concept that has been
in development for the past year.The
Ham's Grille & Oyster Bar concept will put an emphasis on the main items
that Ham's has become known for along with a seafood and raw bar menu and
expanded craft beer offerings,” said Rocco Scarfone, president of Ham's
Restaurants, “We are excited about the atmosphere downtown with all of the new
breweries and restaurants and we look forward to being a part of the scene for
a long time.”

“We wanted to offer variety as well as a more
health-conscious menu.Over the years,
we have seen our guests enjoy special limited seafood items, and we lean
heavily on the coastal Carolina influence in our own backyard,” said Marty
Isom, Food and Beverage Director for Ham's Restaurants.

"I think it is great that Ham's is challenging
themselves to bring the best in concept and cuisine for their downtown
Greensboro location," said Zack Matheny, President of Downtown Greensboro,
Inc., “"I look forward to this new restaurant concept and
believe it will help be a great addition to downtown."

The current Ham's location will be the site of a new
project spearheaded by a different group, continuing the development of
downtown Greensboro.Said Scarfone.
“There's so much going on, between new apartments, hotels, retail, and live
entertainment, we really feel that this is the place to unveil our new
concept.”

The new Ham's Grille & Oyster Bar is scheduled to
open in August.For more information,
